What happens when TEDTalks meets a concert with Grammy-award winning artists, Afrofuturistic fashion, theatre, and more?
✨ Mystrata: Brilliance, Unboxed.
There was a time when intellect could not be separated from creativity. 🎨🧠
In ancient traditions, to be brilliant was to be whole. Logic and artistry were not rivals. They were reflections of the same mind. You were not considered wise unless you could speak with beauty, calculate with precision, and move people with your presence. The greatest thinkers in history — like Pythagoras, Einstein, and Da Vinci — were never confined to one lane.
Over time, society began to narrow genius into compartments. Academia in one box. Creativity in another.
Mystrata exists to undo that.
We bring brilliance back into its full form — merging left brain and right brain, stage and study, rigor and rhythm.
🎤 You’ll see Jonathan McReynolds, a Grammy Award-winning artist, professor, and member of MENSA. His music carries both intellectual depth and spiritual clarity.
📚 You’ll experience Pastor Jeremiah Chester, not just a preacher, but a deeply studied philosophical mind collaborating with classical musicians to explore legacy, spirit, and structure as one continuous thought.
🌍 You’ll meet Sharona D. Henderson, not simply a strategist or singer, but a cultural architect and societal thinker. Her work spans theology, branding, quantum theory, and poetic design — all rooted in the belief that brilliance must be both embodied and unboxed.
🌉 You’ll witness Dr. Nehemiah Mabry, a civil engineer and founder of STEMedia, who also brings the craft of an actor to the stage. His mind builds bridges, and his body tells stories.
💡 You’ll hear from Kirk Nugent, a nationally known digital content expert. Paired with a visual artist, his presentation explores meaning in a world shaped by pixels, presence, and perception.
🎶 You’ll encounter LaToya Whitfield, a beloved philanthropist and mentor stepping forward as a public voice. She is partnered with a musician to shape her story into a live sonic experience.
✨ The stage will also feature models from AEB Talent Agency, adding dimension and movement to the evening's aesthetic.
🎙️ The event is hosted by Lawrence Souffrant, a nationally recognized speaker and musician, and Shanika Wright, a brilliant television producer stepping into the spotlight for this unforgettable evening.
In this space, we don’t just talk about new ideas — we show them. Through sound, movement, fashion, and voice. This is what it looks like when the full brain is activated. When spirit and intellect move together. When Afrofuturism collides with ancient truth.
This is Mystrata.
Brilliance, unboxed. 🚀
